mareep, pidgey or there evolutions!

That's usually the case with a Pokemon that can be caught early on and evolves into something good late game. I happen to have both on my Gold/HG files. :)
 
bad spelling FTW!
that aside, I think it is common because of the (as the guy above said) and they are good against a lot of the gyms.
 
Ampharos also learns some pretty good moves as it levels up. I have an Ampharos and it's pretty much amazing. I used to have a Pidgeotto but I was having troubles with it all the time and it wasn't as strong and I just grew tired of having it be the weakest pokemon on my team. However, I still wanted a flyer on my team cause they work amazing against fighters and stuff. So I ended up trading out my Pidgeotto for Skarmory. He's doing pretty well so far, though I've noticed he needs to be a little over-leveled in order to do a lot of awesomeness. But I prefer him over Pidgeotto.

So...that's what I ended up doing. Besides, you're able to catch a Mareep considerably early in the game, along with Pidgey, so both work great for early teams, if not later stuff.
 
I use an Ampharos, and she's a really good member of my team, and I also use a Pidgeot on a different team.
 
I don't use pidgey, but my ampharos (first time I ever had one) soloed Will in the league.
 
I caught Pidgey only when I reached the Safari Zone, since I was playing mostly at night. But my team has an Ampharos.
 
I have a Pidgeot. Why? Because I caught it as a Pidgey when I started my adventure, and now it's a powerful Pidgeot, and eventually you'll need a Pokémon that can Fly. Actually, you could say this for every main series game: Why does almost every party have a Pidgey-/Taillow-/Starly-evo in the main series games? Because it's the first Pokémon you'll find after you get your Poké Balls :)
 
Odysseus (Ampharos) level 74 (male)

Signal Beam
Power Gem
Thunder
Thunder Wave


He's on my SS team. He kills Lance, except for Garchomp. I have Weavile for that.
 
i use neither
granted, i kept pidgiot on my team untill i beat Blue, then transfered in my Staraptor from Diamond
 
I just caught a mareep and think i am going o store pidgey after i defeat bugsy. Mareep seems to be in more partys then pidgeot, and i like electric.
 
I used an Ampharos on my SS team, he really helped me defeat Pryce, Falkner, Will, Karen, and Morty. (Thunderbolt/Signal Beam)
 
I had Ampharos, before I ditched it for Raikou, and now I use PC-Raichu. (OK, it doesn't look like Pikachu, but you know what I mean.)
 
I'm training a Pidgeotto as an EVing experiment, since I see a lot more potential in it as a psudo-hazer then most people do.

Actually, that's not entirely true. Call me lucky, but the first pokemon I saw in Platinum version at that point was a male Shinx with intimidate. I made sure to catch it.

I never have a flyer in my main team, if I ever need one, the Pokecenter aren't too far away.
